Interested to get everyone's thoughts.
Mainly used for office stuff, but I do some high end video encoding and other media stuff that requires some grunt.
Doesn't need uber fast RAID storage as the data is usually being pulled off our Avid Symphony's NAS storage. So maybe fast SSD for OS and a simple on board RAID setup for data (mirrored or simple raid5?)
Needs to run the Adobe Master collection well, including all video apps in particular, doesn't need to be massively powerful on the 3D side as this is purely a work machine (and based at my office) and doesn't run 3D stuff like studio max. On the other hand, CUDA is important as After Effects, Première and Media encoder use CUDA.
CPU wise, Intel's probably a no brainer for this.
All thoughts appreciated!
E-I
